    The main objective of this lab was to collect 〖Co〗_2 gases that were given off by the Alka-Seltzer tablets and to identify experimental masses. The volume of gas was 724 liters, or 723.86 cm and the experimental mass was .0894 grams. A balance scale was used before and after the reaction to record the change in overall mass. First, using the scale, the flask, balloon, and Alka-Setlzer tablets were measured, 259.4 ±.05 Grams were found. What created the “〖Co〗_2 gases to be trapped” were the crushed Alka-Seltzer tablets that went into the flask that contained water.…

    Multiple trials were done with different percentages of Oxygen and Acetylene in order to find out which ratio would provide the most propulsion and therefore create the most distance traveled for the rocket. In this lab, it is assumed that the furthest rocket launch would indicate the best ratio of Oxygen to Acetylene gas in the pipet bulb. In order to have a reaction between Oxygen and Acetylene gas, Acetylene gas must be created. To create pure Acetylene gas, this reaction takes place: CaC_(2(s))+〖2H_2 O〗_((l))…

    The purpose of this project was to observe the survival of a beta fish in a 3 litter Ozarka water bottle. It was hypothesized that the fish would survive if it was fed and the temperature, the ammonia and the nitrate levels were appropriate. The null hypothesis is that a beta fish can survive in an artificial environment. The ammonia level that was introduced into the habitat by the food given to the fish, would kill the fish when it got to a high level. The nitrate level would get higher for the fish excrement.…

    It is evident that oxygen, an odorless and colorless reactive gas, serves as an essential component of life. Aside from the commonly heard gaseous necessities, natural gas has also proven to equally and indirectly impact daily activities. It is comprised of numerous hydrogen and carbon containing compounds. Commonly referred to as methane, ethane, propane etc., natural gas is utilized during regular household tasks such as dinner preparation through means of a stovetop. Although little attention has been given to the presence, retrieval and usage of natural gas, hazards and benefits are constantly revised and discovered.…

    When comparing the same substance under different conditions, the combined gas law can be mathematically written as (P"1" V"1" )/T"1" = (P"2" V"2" )/T"2" . Since the conditions of the experiment were not at standard temperature and pressure, the combined gas law is required in order to calculate the corresponding volume of hydrogen gas at STP. Single displacement reactions were also…

    If the concentration of any reactant in a solution is increased, the rate of reaction is increased. If the solution is made more concentrated is made more concentrated it means there are more particles of reactant knocking about between the water molecules which makes collisions between the important particles more likely. In a gas, increasing the pressure means the molecules are more squashed up together so there are going to be more collisions. Effect of a…
